GTA 6 ‘worth waiting for’ says Take-Two CEO as release date nears

The latest instalment in the ‘Grand Theft Auto’ series takes us back to Vice City. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of GTA 6 for years. In late 2023, Rockstar Games unveiled the highly anticipated first trailer for the upcoming title but it has remained relatively quiet ever since. Fortunately, the wait may soon be over, with the developer gearing up to launch the game this autumn.
On 16 May 2024, Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar Games’s parent company), narrowed down the release window during an earnings call: “We do feel highly confident that we’ll deliver [GTA 6] in fall of 2025,” Zelnick said.
The first trailer was released more than a year ago, coinciding with Rockstar Games’s 25th anniversary. At the time, it broke several viewership records on YouTube, and ironically now holds the record for the longest wait time between the first and second trailers for a Rockstar game.
So, what do we know about GTA 6? When could the game be released? And how much could it cost? We’ve got all the details about the upcoming instalment in the franchise... While a firm release date has not yet been announced, the first-look trailer in December 2023 gave fans a release window – at the end of the 90-second teaser, when the titles flash up on the screen, underneath in bold white letters are the words “Coming 2025”.
Since the launch of the trailer, the 2025 release date has been removed from marketing materials but on 16 May 2024, Take-Two Interactive’s CEO Strauss Zelnick reaffirmed that GTA 6 will be released in 2025, and stated the company is confident of an autumn 2025 release window.
